When I use my volume buttons, the pop down menu lingers. I counted 20 seconds for the menu to reascend on its own.
I think this happened after the the recent update, before, the menu would pop down for a couple seconds. The only way to get it to reascend is to swipe up on the screen, which affects the app I'm on and it's getting pretty annoying.
My phone isn't rooted and I'm running Nova Launcher, if that's pertinent information. I've tried restarting the phone. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

No, the lingering has been there since day 1 and on stock too. It's "supposed" to do it (not sure why though). You can make it disappear by tapping the screen outside the volume box though.
It gets annoying, but I think the point is so that you have enough time to expand the volume control box and actually adjust different volumes. They definitely were generous on how long it stays up though. I mean, 5 seconds would be long enough in my opinion.
Yeah it's very annoying.

Here's a stupid problem I haven't been able to find a fix for --
When I'm talking on my phone, I find that I consistently "press" random buttons on the screen with the side of my face. I'll always somehow accidentally navigate myself into the owner info menu, or the clock and alarms menu, just from my face being against the screen.
It seems silly, I know, but it's really annoying...and I haven't come up with any easy way to keep it from happening (outside of manually navigating myself back to the today screen and locking the phone every time I make or receive a call).
Has anyone else experienced this or come up with a way to avoid it?
Thanks for your help.

Am sure there is an app that can do this - I remember reading it somewhere try a google search.
Hope this helps.

I just tap the Power button and put it to sleep. So the only button that is active is the power button!!!

Anyone know how to change the in-call screen timeout? I think it's like 5 seconds right now. Maybe like 10 or 15 seconds would be a little more practical.

Not sure but it times out so you can put it up to your face while your talking on it without the touch screen freaking out on us so i sincerely doubt there is any way to change it.

yeah but trying to navigate voicemail is a PITA... I did find the button that keeps the thing "live/on" while plugged into power... that at least is nice.

I'm not having this problem at all so I wasn't sure what people were referring to. However, I discovered that my sister was having the same problem described here and on other forums. Her phone would timeout within a second or two and it was extremely annoying to her. So off I went trying to help her.
Short Answer: Reboot the phone via the red/power key.
Long Answer: After several hours of troubleshooting with no luck I had her reboot the phone by holding down the red key and choosing to "Power off". Then hold the red key again to turn on the phone. After that it seems the problem went away. I've had her do other things but I'm not sure it was relavent so I'll stop here and see if this helps anyone else.
Huh? This is not a bug that you can simply do away with. The phone is supposed to time out.
On the other hand, I would like the option to adjust the timeout
Screen Backlight Timeout during a call
Is there a way to adjust the screen backlight timeout during a phone call? My timeout is set for 2 minutes, but during a call the screen shuts off so fast it does not let me dial extensions etc, and then pressing menu to light up, then menu to unlock then menu to bring up the keyboard, its kind of annoying. I just measured the time, its about 10 seconds.
This question is NOT ABOUT: Screen/Setting/Sound&Display/ScreenTimeout (that one has its own issues too, but this thread is specific to one issue)
Lol I have the same prob when I do phone banking. By the time I've pressed menu
Then flicked the dial buttons back up iam to late to press the button and have to start
Over again. Its really pissing me off now lol.
Adam
Amen... hopefully one of the developers can make this adjustable
Yes, it's one of my main gripes about the phone function.
They really should have made it adjustable independently of the standard timeout time. Because even voicemail prompts are a pain in the rear.
Power Manager
You can pick up the Power Manager application off of the Andoird marketplace. It allows you to modify the amount of time the screen is on during a phone call.

Really? Must be the new version I don't have. I have the first version and it lacks that function.
Thanks for the tip.
I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm having this problem and its really annoying!
I have the touch pro, and the display timeout while talking is like 5 seconds, and then I have to press that top button to get the screen to come back on, and I have to press it like 3 times till it comes back up. Really annoying when I'm pressing numbers with an automated system like voicemail.
Download power manager from the app store. allows you to change in-call time out and a truck load of other things.
If you want to find it on the net here - http://www.cyrket.com/asset/-5688572614148254173
That was driving me crazy - I changed mine to 30 seconds for in call.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes haptic feedback seems to vibrate twice when pressing the menu button?
For some reason it really annoys me. Any possible fixes?
Yes, I notice it and it bothers me. Usually happens when the phone is lagging a bit. It makes me feel like the phone is about to crash or that something is serious wrong.
It's double because the first is for pressing it, while the second tells you that the long hold action has been activated, it's not lag

So it's not a bug, it's a feature? It only seems to be happening when pressing the menu button and feels like its random where in same situations it sometimes happens then not.

He's right about the hold feature. It actually activates the search function. The shortcut usually works outside of a third-party app.

Well, there is a double haptic feedback when you long press it, but I think he's talking quick-succession. Like, tap it, and you feel like your phone is a semi-automatic about to take off. Hah :/
If you long press it, yes, it brings up a search option, but for me, when I just press it once for a menu, it vibrates twice very quickly, so quickly that the normal person would probably not notice it.
I didn't think anyone else had this "problem."

That's exactly what I meant in my initial post. Short single press yields double vibrate.

Double/half/weak haptic
I have the exact same issue, with just the menu button.
However, mine feedback sometimes feels very weak, like a half vibrate, or glitched, or stuttered or even delayed.
Sometimes it vibrates once normally, and the second is glitched or stuttered.
I thought this was a software issue, and when I bought the phone September 25th, they told me they would have a software update by the end of that month. Now it's past mid-October and I'm worried that by the time the software update comes around, it will be past the one-month trial period.
What is the general consensus, is it a software issue, or a hardware issue, that I need to get replaced ASAP?
The past few weeks I've been noticing that my DHD often vibrates at random times, when it should not do this at all.
It just vibrates (in stby mode), nothing else but I always think I'm getting a call or a text, which is pretty annoying.
Sometimes it vibrates just once, but also sometimes it vibrates 3 times, very fast and hard. Last night it even woke me up...
Anyone having the same issue?

Had this today when I bought it out of standby. Thought I had a text or email or something but there was nothing. Never noticed it happen when in standby though.
This happens regularly on mine too! its frustrating! you think you have a call or a message but you dont! :s
Its probably caused by your signal going from hspa (3.5g) to 3g to gprs

Isn't this called Blackberry syndrome? Imagining your phone vibrating, just so you can check it!
Seriously though, I dont have this on my DHD. It was present on my Hero though. I think its your phone getting lonely because your not using it.
If you press the volume rocker right in the middle it will vibrate 1 time and sometimes it will do 2 quick vibrates following the first one. This is probably not related to your case but it fits under the random vibration for other that might not know about it.
I noted you get a vibration when you signal goes out, and when it comes back again.
it does happen on mine too...
but i think i know the cause... its usually after using the volume buttons when it does it
but after installing CM, it doesnt do it anymore... i think its something to do with stock ROMS (mainly sense)
+1 more for that, i thought i was going mad when i first noticed it, but after reading this im feeling a bit more sane,
stock rom btw
Mine does it too. I'm using Custom Modaco Rom. When I go to unlock the phone it vibrated but not all the time. Never in my pocket though. I thought it was 3g watchdog playing up but other people getting it too so not that. It did it just now reading these posts hope it doesn't get worse.

Mine does it too. Got used to it now though.
Mine does this, but I know when it does it and why.
Usually it's either when unlocking the phone, or pressing the power button to lock it.
The reason why? It's because I have fat hands and accidentally press the volume down button when using the phone, causing it to go into vibration mode (which makes the phone vibrate once to let you know).
It's confusing, but entirely my own fault.
That's kinda diffirent from what I'm having. Mine does this without going into vibration mode or anything elsr for that matter. It just vibrates, even when locked and when the screen's off...
Just noticed that it does indeed have something to do with the volume buttons. Just lock your phone, press down both of the volume buttons, unlock it and then you will feel the 3 vibrations
I've noticed mine vibrates when launcher pro crashes, happens while i'm listening to music and try changing the volume sometimes, every time it happens the next time i unlock the phone launcher pro has to restart.
Although I have noticed it some times vibrates when I try to lock or unlock the phone and accidentally hit the volume buttons, not sure what happens there though.
EDIT: Just been trying to lock and hold one of the volume buttons, I've noticed it locks up for a second or two, so it's most likely something crashing I think.
Really sorry to bump a thead from a few weeks ago - but has anybody had any luck with resolving this?
This is the only thread I could find on the matter, and it's becoming a big annoyance for me. It's NOT when I go into vibration mode or anything, it can be anytime - even when the screen is off.

I just tried this and you're right - the three vibrations. Perhaps it's by design but I can't see why.
Anyway it's nice to know how to do it on purpose; mind you I used to get it all the time with my old cheap case, with my new case it's never done it "by itself". It seemed a bit odd but I assumed the case was "pressing" both volume buttons when on standby from time to time (makes sense).
I've noticed when i'm putting the phone in my pocket (or out), i tend to grab it on the top with the volume buttons. And yes, it does vibrate when i accidentally press them.
Try it yourself.
Regards, clumsy long fingered dude.
Mine used to do this as well. It would be sitting on the desk not touching anything, screen off and it's just idling doing nothing on stock sense rom, then it would just vibrate randomly a few times. It was a bit spooky and it kept doing it randomly :/
It has since stopped doing that, no real reason I can see why, I have flashed LeeDroid but it stopped randomly vibrating before that.
I'm on AR HD and it's still doing it.
I'm not too bothered, but a fix would be nice.
If I keep randomly pressing buttons on the phone, it will make random vibrations. Sometimes one, two or three. I don't have to press the power button, the phone screen can be turned off, and the phone doesn't go into silent/vibration mode either.
I just played about with the volume buttons now and I got a bit of lag on my phone, lasted for about 15 seconds then went away...
does anyone knows how can i remove the vibrate from main menu "button",search button and back button
I'd also love to know this, but I think we're several months away from being able to hack the phone to this level. Something like this would I imagine be integrated on a level that's not yet open to users, but here's hoping.
I don't need the key to vibrate when I press it. I know I've pressed it because... I pressed it. And every vibrating key has visual results. For me, the vibration is also annoying.
You can't.
At least not yet...
just got this phone myself and agree it does get a bit annoying,it is standard on all phones i had until now
